Contrary to the claims of TikTok itself, a new law does not ban the social media behemoth outright from the country. That’s what lawmakers said was contained in the measure that President Joe Biden signed recently, along with military aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Rather, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act […]

On the surface, the wave of anti-Israel protests washing over college campuses across the country looks a lot like left-wing student activism dating back to at least the Vietnam War. Protesters chant radical, often rhyming, slogans accusing American and other Western governments of crimes against humanity with little to no scrutiny of the other side’s […]

For the time being, university authorities have lost patience with protesters disrupting campuses to demonstrate bigotry against Israel and solidarity with Hamas murderers. Some institutions such as the University of Florida did not let matters get out of hand and ordered suspensions as soon as the motley crew of terrorist cosplayers broke the rules. Others, Columbia University foremost among them, dithered […]

Because documentary films contend with real people and real events, it is to be expected that they shape the public’s understanding of those people and events. But it is a different matter altogether when those films start to have a tangible impact on the people or events they are purporting to document.  What if Fahrenheit […]

You know you’re in trouble when someone begins a sentence by claiming to love something in a tone of voice that suggests they’re about to trash-talk it in the next breath. People will say something like, Hey, I love my sister, but… and then go on to describe the many ways her behavior and personality are […]

The intrepid jewel thief has always been an iconic figure in literature and cinema. From E.W Hornung’s Raffles, the gentleman burglar, to Cary Grant’s super-larcenist (“The Cat”) in Hitchcock’s 1955 comedy-thriller To Catch a Thief, he exists in a category far removed from other common criminals. Perhaps a descendant of the romanticized figure of Robin […]

Electric vehicles remain the future of transportation, if only because Democratic politicians are going to force you to buy them. But until that day comes, it turns out most people simply don’t want one. Ford is joining the bad news train on EVs, reporting $100 million in EV revenue over the first quarter of 2024. […]

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) reportedly signed a bill into law Thursday that would ensure President Biden will appear on the state’s November ballot. The Hill has reached out to Ivey’s office for comment, but The Associated Press reported that a spokeswoman said the bill had been signed. The bill’s singing follows the unanimous approval...
